If you’re that confident that things are going all to hell to such an extent that virtually every investment will be worthless or confiscated, then the economy is going to be a total shambles.
I’d suggest “investing” in defensible rural property capable of producing food, surrounded by trustworthy people of a like mind, and pay it off. Make sure it’s in a jurisdiction that is unlikely to turn predatory. Fix your tax burden by paying property tax ahead five or ten years if it’s permitted, locking in the rate. Then, stock up on enough shelf-stable food to carry yourself and your family for a year or two. Then, make certain you can defend said property, “invest” in training yourself to be very handy with defensive weapons. Then, “invest” in a means to provide power sufficient to at least run a well pump, some lights and a few creature comforts to make your house livable when the grid goes down, because if the markets are seized up that badly, things are going to degenerate fairly quickly. Then, “invest” in barter items that will remain in demand. Whiskey, toilet paper, tobacco.
Then, sit back, relax, stop worrying, live your life, love your family, enjoy nature, it hasn’t changed and is as beautiful as ever. You’ve done all you can do and there’s nothing that can be done to prevent this or change the trajectory. It’s coming, just a matter of when. Could be years or even decades, so prepare for people to try to humiliate you for being paranoid.
But, you’ll be as set come what may as you can be. That buys tremendous peace of mind, so long as you don’t go broke trying to accomplish it.
I've never heard of this. Are there any places that do this?
I agree. The sense of 'community' is like friendship : It halves our pain, and doubles our joy in difficult times.
Pre-pay taxes is essential since taxes represent 'rent' to the government, a never ending cycle of expenditures.
Real estate rental properties to create immediately acceptable cash currency for commodities and utilities, as well as increase income
Additional land to farm or garden for food production, utilizing 'hybrids' for productivity, and 'heirlooms' for proven disease/ insect resistance and open pollination.
thus an endless supply of nutrition and food source,unfazed by cultural problems.
A supply of farm animals for reoccurring fertilizer source, and or composting program for vegetation wastage,
as well as general fertilizer for increasing production for sale, thus producing acceptable forms of currency/ barter.
Alarms / firearms to protect your person, your land , and your crops from thieves (both four legged, two legged, and flying varmints).
Enjoy kinship with those who think, and act like you.
